Special Character breaks Build Path
Issue:
==========
I started a simple project to try Xamarin in Visual Studio at work. I have my code checked into GitHub. When I got home and pulled my code down it fails to build even though it works on my work computer. I noticed that it can't find the bin/Debug folder because it is misrepresenting my special character in my username.

Error message (also see attachment):
====================================
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Unexpected error - Please file a bug report at http://bugzilla.xamarin.com. Reason: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Directory 'C:\Users\Andr├⌐\Documents\GitHub\Xarmin\QuickStart\Phoneword\Phoneword\bin\Debug' not found. Phoneword

Thanks for the report. There is some work underway that will hopefully address this bug in an upcoming release. I will mark this as a duplicate of the "main" report to consolidate further discussion and updates onto that bug.
One way to work around the problem temporarily would be to move the solution folder to a directory that does not contain any accented characters, for example:
C:\source\GitHub\Xarmin\QuickStart\Phoneword\Phoneword\bin\Debug
